Les Hanois Lighthouse, 30th May 2006.Completed in 1862 and 108ft high the lighthouse was the first to be built with granite blocks interlocking both laterally and vertically, a design by James Douglass that became the standard for waveswept towers. Located on a rocky reef at the southwestern point of the island, marking the westernmost point of the Channel Islands.

The Parish Church of St Peter Port, usually referred to as the Town Church and also informally known as the cathedral of the Islands, was first referred to in Norman times. The church is built of granite and originally served as a fortress. The present steeple dates from 1721, though there are parts of the existing church that date back to the 13th and 14th centuries (nave and choir respectively). Extensive restoration took place in the 19th century, and some of the stained glass dates back to this time. However, most of the stained glass windows were blown out during World War II when the Allies bombed the harbour, mistakenly believing that there was a German submarine there. The small windows at the top withstood the blast and so they remained the Victorian originals, but most of the larger pieces of glass lower down are post-war in vintage. It is in the Diocese of Winchester.

The Treasures House,York.17th august 2012. In medieval times The house was the home of treasurers of York Minster. It served in this capacity until 1547, after which it passed through a number of private owners. The present house bears little resemblance to the original structure as there has been much rebuilding. The house was restored to its present state by Frank Green, a wealthy local industrialist, between 1897 and 1930. The house and its contents were given to the National Trust in 1930, when its owner retired and moved away from York. Legend has it that, when a work man was repairing the plumbing in the cellars, he saw a frightening apparition of a group of Roman legionaries marching past.

City of London School for Girls was founded using a bequest by William Ward, a merchant of Brixton, in 1881 and opened in Carmelite Street in 1894. It was his conviction that girls should be given a broad and liberal education with an emphasis on scholarship; he left a third of his fortune to the City of London to fund the foundation of a girls' school. The school is still administered by the Corporation of London and the Board of Governors is appointed by the Court of Common Council. The school also receives financial support from the City Livery Companies as well as banks and other City firms.
